In addition, Russian state news agencies reported that the work of kindergartens and schools was temporarily suspended in the Zahidnodvinsk municipal district of the Tver region of the Russian Federation on September 18. According to media reports, the residents of Toropets are being evacuated to the neighboring town of Tver region – Zahidna Dvina.
Meanwhile, the Astra Telegram channel, citing local residents, writes that an ammunition warehouse was attacked, and publishes photos and videos of the detonation. Military unit 54169 is reportedly located in Toropka and has been attacked by drones at least twice before.
The authorities of the region and the Ministry of Defense of Russia do not report this.
Drone strikes on the night of September 18 were also reported in the Smolensk, Bryansk, Oryol, and Tula regions of Russia.
The authorities and the military of Ukraine did not comment on the situation.
After the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, combat drones regularly fly into Russian regions, resulting in destruction and casualties. The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that the attacks are being carried out from the Ukrainian side.
Kyiv claimed that the strikes on Russia were aimed at military, energy and transport infrastructure, which are key to Moscow’s war effort.
Russian authorities almost never report the full extent of the damage caused by Ukrainian strikes.
